INJURED AT WORK?

Surprisingly, the vast majority of workplace injuries do not occur due to serious accidents, which often catches people off guard. In truth, most workplace injuries result from strain and repetitive movements. Each year, millions of dollars are spent in the United States to assist individuals with these problems, yielding mixed results. Chiropractic care in SH Gonstead Chiropractic may hold the solution.

Repetitive stress stands as the most common risk factor associated with work injuries. Engaging in small tasks with consistently poor posture can lead to significant problems over months or even years. Some of the most frequently encountered repetitive strain injuries include twisting and turning while moving heavy boxes or other items, as well as continuous typing in an improper position. Interestingly, it is not the large packages that commonly cause injuries, but rather the smaller ones that are handled repeatedly each day.

Misalignment of the spine and joints can result in pain and injuries. Misaligned joints contribute to swelling, which can irritate surrounding nerves and give rise to various problems.

CAN OUR CHIROPRACTIC TEAM PROVIDE ASSISTANCE?

Chiropractors have a long-standing history of achieving high success rates in alleviating pain for individuals with work injuries. Lower back pain and repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, are just two of the common work-related conditions that chiropractors routinely address.

Emphasizing the importance of receiving appropriate care as quickly as possible cannot be overstated. Repetitive strain injuries tend to worsen when left untreated. If the injuries are allowed to progress, surgical intervention may be necessary to rectify the resulting issues. By consulting with a chiropractor and undergoing treatment, it may be possible to completely avoid surgery or the need for prescription pain medication.

The sooner you receive proper care following a work injury, the easier it becomes to achieve a swift recovery. One of our skilled chiropractors can assess your condition and provide guidance on what it will take to facilitate your recovery, including estimated recovery time and beneficial exercises.

Living with pain should not be considered inevitable. If you are grappling with any type of work injury, our team at Cornerstone Community Chiropractic is here to assist you in reclaiming your path to health.
